on the one hand you have commentators like the romney adviser john bolton and the tv anchor sean hannity who believe that the obama administration should have tried to keep hosni mubarak in power in egypt. hannity described the emerging democratic system in egypt as the rise of violence, hate, islamic extremism, madness, and death. on the other hand, you have conservative policy makers like paul wolfowitz and others who have celebrated the fall of arab tyrannies, some of whom only wish that president obama had been quicker to support the transition to elections. this debate is important. over the next few decades the middle east could see the rise of illiberal democracies, countries with elections but few individual rights, or it could see a gradual evolution toward pluralism and the rule of law. but this discussion is being superseded by a visceral reaction to islam and islamism as hannity's comments suggest that is neither accurate nor helpful in understanding what is happening on the ground. the heart of the problem in the arab world was that the old order was highly unstable. repress

rand paul went on fox news and sean hannity's radio show with what we considered a scoop that committee democrats had walked out, refusing to negotiate. >> "i have news straight from sources close to the supercommittee that the democrats have walked away from the table and they're refusing to talk with the republicans about a deal. they will not counter any offers and basically there's an impasse and it's starting to look like they don't want any deal at all." >> democrats, on the other hand, say they haven't walked away from anything and called paul's statement, quote, absolutely ridiculous. earlier i had a chance to speak with senator rand paul about his controversial statements. >> senator paul, you said today that the democrats on the supercommittee have walked away from the table or you'd heard they walked away from the table. our reporters on the hill haven't heard that version of the events. the democrats are flatout denying it. "national journal" is quoting a republican aide saying a democratic senator suggested a time-out. that's not walking away. are you sure they walked away?

he apparently called sean hannity and had a discussion with sean hannity. sean hannity would not disclose the contents of that discussion, and also called the special prosecutor and explained to the special prosecutor that these were just his legal advisers and not george zimmerman's legal representatives. and it is very, very rare for the target of an investigation to call a prosecutor. that is simply just not done. so no surprise that this legal team withdrew from george zimmerman's representation. >> sunny, these lawyers are sound like he's going through post traumatic shock, that he's losing weight and not himself and not thinking clearly. how does that affect the attorneys who have been representing this individual if he's going through some mental problems right now? >> right. that actually is of some concern. ethically some will wonder can they withdraw? c they can especially since they're not communicating with him. again, a client can fire an attorney for any reason, on a whim. not so for an attorney, but they do seem to have reason to withdraw fro

palin told hannity that no one can make her sit down and shut up and she'll continue to speak out. here's what david frum said after the interview aired. >> she should stop talking, now, really. i don't think it's true that this is a person who is unaware of the reaction. she's all too aware. this was the interview, a very shaken person. >> he's not the only republican. here's what newt gingrich said on "good morning america." >> i think she's got to slow down and be more careful and think through what she is saying and how she is saying it. there's no question she's become more controversial. but she is still a phenomena. i don't know anybody else in american politics who can put something on twitter or on facebook and automatically have it become a national story. so she remains i think a formidable person. >> obviously, newt gingrich has his own perhaps agenda here, he's considering a presidential run in 2012. let's find out what our panel thinks. ari fleischer joins us and lisa kabuto. ari, you saw newt gingrich's critique. what did you think of it? >> he's on target of that ri

sean hannity is another person who does a lot, spoken at republican fundraisers. he's very outspoken about his own views. >> never held public office. >> neither has sarah palin -- well, she was a governor. but she quit. i wonder if fox worries she's going to quit halfway through her contract with them. she does haven't a good track record. >> the one thing you can't forget is literally a third of americans absolutely love sarah palin. the response in her book was unprecedented. it was phenomenal. i do think that even what we're doing now which is criticizing her in this regard, in one sense it's going to be tough for her because every time she gets up and manningals her words and messes up and says something wrong, people are going to jump all over her. on the other hand, whenever people do that, the american people seem to love her more. i don't think anyone looking at this media phenomenon can forget or down play or underestimate that very, very deep and real affection. >> let me get to the broader question. i should briefly say it's not just the liberal media
